gawain and the green knight - cartographer lyrics

Loading...

humble cartographer, yes
mumbling, bumbling cartographer
here to serve your ship, sir

lookee, my inks and pens!
see how i’ve sharpened them!
my parchment, newly sent from london

oh, i am not homesick
no, my home’s still out there
somewhere…
someday i hope to draw

oooeee, three months at sea
orange breath, no signs yet of scurvy
ma would be so proud of me

up in my crow’s nest, yes
that’s where i do my best imagining
what i’ll see

when that salt+earth spray
finally gives way
to that secret scent it’s scintillating
sacred, shaded, salivating shore
shore, shore, shore
i see it rising out the water
like the belly of a bathing god
i tremble to describe it
yes, i tremble now inside you

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this

how am i, how am i
how am i, how am i
supposed to map you?
when my hands can hardly
handle handling anything
not you, not you
your dirt, your sap, your sour trees
sweet howling of your breeze
ooo, i am untamed by you

earnest cartographer, yeah
nervous, unlearned cartographer
wholly unprepared for
your wildfire wildflowers
dizzy blue witching hours
permutations, the constellations

oh, your wintry streams
how they flood my dreams
i wake up shivering and wet between my
hammock and the wooden beams
i rock myself to sleep

i see you shining in the moonlight
how you seem to have no borders, no
i tremble to describe you
yes, i tremble now inside you

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this

how am i, how am i
how am i, how am i
supposed to map you?
when my hands can hardly
handle handling anything
not you, not you
your dirt, your sap, your sour trees
sweet howling of your breeze
ooo, i am untamed by you
ooo, i am untamed by you
oooooooo

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this

my god
no one ever told me
it could ever look like this
